Is that because you lived a life so unremarkable that nobody would want to look at photographs of you, even for historical source material or are you so miserable that you don’t want any photographs of yourself because when you look at them all you can see is the pain in your eyes that only you can see through the lie of a smile you use to protect others from knowing the depths of your despair?
Nope, although that's an interestingly bleak take on it!
I find physical albums annoying because they spend the overwhelming majority of their time unseen in a drawer. They have to be protected and unless one has the negatives or an obsessive approach then they are a single point of failure. I want to see the photos and love things like collages. My bedroom wall used to be covered in pics!
I find digital photo frames annoying because they feel like a massive bottleneck. Like looking a the world through a straw.
I don't actually know which approach I feel is sensible for my tastes, just that I don't really like either option.
I'm currently (as in the processing is happening in another tab as I type) collecting my photos together, going back to Q1 2002 so that I'll at least have them in one place. From there I might generate collages or something. I'm not sure what'd be fun, but at least I'll have an API that I can access the data through to try cool shit. Fire up the colour laser printer!
